Top 10 Greatest Walk Off Home Runs

The Top Ten
Joe Carter, Game 6, 1993 World Series (Blue Jays)

Even the announcer didn't think it was gone, but it barely got over the wall for the greatest moment in Canadian baseball history.

Because Toronto may never win a World Series again. It was huge for Canadian baseball.

TOUCH 'EM ALL, JOE! YOU'LL NEVER HIT A BIGGER HOME RUN IN YOUR LIFE!

Kirk Gibson, Game 1, 1988 World Series (Dodgers)

Underdog team at home, best city in the world. Injured Gibson comes in to do the hardest thing in baseball - pinch-hit - and sends it over the right field wall. Like Vin said, I can't believe it, it's gone.

I have a great Vin Scully impression.

This is first.

For sure.

No doubt.

Scott Podsednik, Game 2, 2005 World Series (White Sox)

I still feel that chill going down my spine from that magical moment.

Derek Jeter, Game 4, 2001 World Series (Yankees)

Jeter's shot in the 11th inning looked like it was going to go out of the park. He roped it to right field, and it just got over the right-field fence.

I love that Jeter became "Mr. November" for his ability to hit the first November home run in MLB history.

David Ortiz, Game 3, 2004 ALDS (Red Sox)

Greatest hitter since Ted Williams.

Best walk-off.

Aaron Boone, Game 7, 2003 ALCS (Yankees)

The last major highlight in the infamous Curse of the Bambino Series.

It's Joeysworld.

Magglio Ordóñez, Game 4, 2006 ALCS (Tigers)
Alex Rodriguez, Walk-Off Grand Slam, 2007 (Yankees)
Carlton Fisk, Game 6, 1975 World Series (Stay Fair!)

The whole stadium was watching that ball sail foul and then come back into fair territory!

I still remember that moment.

That was an amazing moment.

Bill Mazeroski, Game 7, 1960 World Series (Pirates)

How is this not even top ten? One of only two World Series-winning home runs, and this wasn't just to win a game - it was to win it all. Joe Carter's was Game 6, but Mazeroski's was Game 7.

It's the classic backyard dream: Game 7 of the World Series, bottom of the 9th, and you hit a walk-off. It's been done once. This is it - the greatest of all time. 1. Mazeroski 2. Carter 3. Gibson 4. Aaron Boone 5. Kirby "We'll see you tomorrow night" Puckett (Where is David Freese Game 6?)

Are you kidding me? This is #1 by far. Eighty-five percent of these people should have voted for this one (the rest for Joe Carter). This was Game 7 of the World Series. Mazeroski was down in the count and went deep to win the Bucs a World Series.

The Contenders
Harold Baines, 1984 AL Game, Ends Longest Game in MLB History (25 Innings)
Bobby Thomson, 1951 NL Pennant (Shot Heard 'Round the World)
David Freese, Game 6, 2011 World Series (Cardinals)

The 2011 season for the St. Louis Cardinals was a true underdog year. They just barely grabbed the wild card over the Braves, beat the Phillies, and defeated their biggest threat all year, the Brewers.

In the World Series versus the Rangers, it seemed like the Rangers were going to win. But Freese hit that amazing walk-off in Game 6, and then they went on to win it all. That was an incredible moment.

This was the most memorable game in baseball for me. Joe Carter's and Kirk Gibson's home runs were unforgettable, but there was something magical about that game between the Cards and Rangers.

There was no way the Cards should have won that series, but there was no stopping them after the Game 6 win.

Jim Thome, Walk-Off Home Run, 2007 (500th of Career)
Kirby Puckett, Game 6, 1991 World Series (Twins)

The Twins wouldn't have gone to Game 7 and won the series without this.

Evan Longoria, Game 162, 2011 Season (Rays)

IT'S GONE! IT'S GONE! EVAN LONGORIA HAS JUST GIVEN THE RAYS THE AMERICAN LEAGUE WILD CARD!

Roger Connor, 1881 (Troy Trojans), First Grand Slam in Major League History for 8-7 Win
Nelson Cruz, Walk-Off Grand Slam, Game 2, 2011 ALCS (Rangers)
Jayson Werth, Game 4, 2012 NLDS (Nationals)

How about Werth's celebration? Slamming down the helmet!

A 13-pitch at-bat.

José Bautista, Game 5, 2015 ALDS (Blue Jays)
Caleb Gindl, Walk-Off Home Run, 2013 (First Career Home Run)
Tony Peña, Game 1, 1995 ALDS (Indians)

The Indians beat the Red Sox. Pena's jack was a sight to behold.
